Delicate and fine muscat whites with a tender palate and moderate acidity, on intense and refined aromas of orange blossom, rose, fresh grape, citrus, white peach and airy muscat (more subtle than Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains). Made as aromatic dry aperitif whites (Alsace, Baden), off-dry and sumptuous botrytised liquoreux (Burgenland in Austria, Cotnari in Romania, Tokaj). Created in the 19th century by Robert Moreau (Angers), a cross of Chasselas × Muscat de Saumur.
Romanian DOC in Vrancea (east of the Carpathians), recognised hub of national sparkling wines. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Fetească Regală are the base for Asti-method and traditional-method sparkling wines: fine bubbles, vibrant citrus, green apple, white flowers and a brioche touch. Băbească Neagră, an autochthonous variety cultivated for 2. 000 years, produces light reds with red fruits and spice.
